Katie Price threatens to confront Emily Atack in Australia over brutal STD jibe

Katie Price has threatened to fly halfway around the world to have it out with Emily Atack, after the Extra Camp host cracked a brutal STD joke about the mum of five on last night's show.

Furious Katie demanded Emily's number after the former Inbetweeners star quipped about the pool Katie and Peter Andre frolicked in during their I'm A Celebrity stint in 2004.

Emily weighed in after her co-hosts Joel Dommett and Adam Thomas were filmed splashing around in the creek where Katie and Peter had canoodled 15 years previously.

"I hope you boys went to the clinic after being in that pool," Emily joked on camera as she pulled a face.

But the quip didn't land well back at home, as Katie was reportedly fuming when she heard about Emily's comments from friends.

"Loads of fans were messaging her on social media too – and Katie was furious," a source told the Sun .

"She was telling people that she can't believe Emily would say something so snide and if she 'wants a problem, I'll give her a problem'."

The insider added: "At one point Katie was saying she'd fly out to Australia and confront her. She's not going to, obviously, but she was asking around to see if anyone had Emily's number.

"She thinks she wouldn't be so brave to say it to her face.

"Katie reckons she's due a public apology from Emily. She's never had any issue with Emily so she's really shocked by her joke."

It comes after Katie vowed to snub the show after ITV bosses refused to stick her back in the jungle for the third time.

The ex-glamour model went on in 2004 - where she famously met Peter - and again in 2009 after they'd split.

She didn't keep quiet about her plans for the show recently, when she said she'd "definitely" go back on if bosses had her.

"I did I'm a Celebrity twice and the second time I walked out because I swore on my kids life that's why I left because I couldn't go back on it," she said.

"The silly thing is the last challenge they wanted me to do was easy, so really I should have stayed in but I didn't."

"I would definitely do I'm A Celebrity again, 100 percent, third time lucky! Would they have me back in the jungle? Oh my god I could cause another stir!"

Mirror Online has contacted Katie's rep for comment.

*I'm A Celebrity continues tonight at 9pm on ITV
